5.04.4643	Adaptive systems for speech signal processing Monday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 07/04/25) Monday: 14:00 - 16:00, weekly (from 07/04/25) Description: The students gain a broad operational perspective for the design of speech adaptive systems and respective algorithms with a particular focus on adaptive digital filters. The important NLMS, RLS, FDAF and Kalman-Filter algorithms can be derived from fundamental principles. Diverse applications from speech and acoustic signal processing deliver practical insight into the utilization of the fundamentals, for instance, in acoustic noise reduction, echo cancellation, dereverberation, acoustic channel estimation and equalization. However, the acquired knowledge allows for a broader interpretation in the context of engineering and physics. The computer exercises of larger scale will teach the students to argue, select and evaluate algorithms for the problem at hand. By discussion in the panel, students learn to demonstrate, defend and trade their solution against others. Theoretical exercises finally deliver the ability to argue and prove a speech processing design with the appropriate vocabulary.

5.04.4883	Chaos and fractals in practice Thursday: 10:00 - 12:00, weekly (from 10/04/25) Description: The goal of this lecture is to get acquainted with prevalent concepts for dynamic systems. Particular emphasis lies on the interpretation of certain non-linear deterministic systems with respect to their fixed points (stationary or equilibrium solutions) as well as their sensitivity with respect to initial conditions (characterization via Lyapunov exponents). The evolution of fixed point leads to the catastrophe theory. The time evolution of non-stationary and non-linear system leads to chaos. Different routes to chaotic regimes will be discussed and put into the context of applications such as coupled generators in wind energy systems. The concept of fractal measures will be discussed at selected examples (Cantor set, Koch curves, etc.), which serves for the characterisation of chaotic attractors but also for fractal geometries like boarder lines, surfaces, turbulence or boundaries of basins of attraction. Ziel dieser Vorlesung ist es, gängige Konzepte für dynamische Systeme kennenzulernen. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Interpretation bestimmter nichtlinearer deterministischer Systeme hinsichtlich ihrer Fixpunkte (stationäre oder Gleichgewichtslösungen) sowie ihrer Empfindlichkeit gegenüber Anfangsbedingungen (Charakterisierung über Ljapunov-Exponenten). Die Entwicklung von Fixpunkten führt zur Katastrophentheorie. Die zeitliche Entwicklung von nicht-stationären und nicht-linearen Systemen führt zum Chaos. Verschiedene Wege zu chaotischen Regimen werden diskutiert und in den Kontext von Anwendungen gestellt (z. B. gekoppelte Generatoren in Windenergieanlagen). An ausgewählten Beispielen (Cantor-Menge, Koch-Kurven, etc.) wird das Konzept der fraktalen Maße diskutiert, das zur Charakterisierung von chaotischen Attraktoren, aber auch von fraktalen Geometrien wie Grenzlinien, Flächen, Turbulenzen oder Grenzen von Anziehungsgebieten dient.

5.04.4230	Oberseminar „Journal Club“ Speech Technology and Hearing Aids Thursday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 10/04/25) Description: The participants are actually making a distance from their daily own research thread and implementation towards a wider perspective. They pursue other topics of colleagues and related scientists, which seem to be outside the personal scope or interest, and will yet contribute useful commentary and suggestions. To this, we shall seek literature and pursue intrinsically-motivated study in neighboring and overarching fields of research and education. The results of the study will be grouped systematically and presented in the seminar accordingly. The participants cooperatively work on consensus regarding the scientific merit of publications in terms fundamental relevance or potential utility for own scientific generalization. The themes of the seminar comprise the whole bandwidth of scientific literature on signal processing, machine learning and acoustics with applications in speech technology and hearing aids, for instance, single- and multichannel noise reduction, acoustic sensor networks, digital speech communication, binaural transmission and perception. The graduate participants prove the enhanced perspective obtained by the seminar by enhanced motivation and practice for proposal writing. The undergraduate participants can deliver an oral examination or contribute a formal presentation on a given topic.

Building up on the previously acquired Machine Learning models and methods, the students will be lead closer to current research topics and will learn about models that currently represent the state-of-the-art. Based on these models, the students will be exposed to the typical theoretical and practical challenges in the development of current Machine Learning algorithms. Typical such challenges are analytical and computational intractabilities, or local optima problems. Based on concrete examples, the students will learn how to address such problems. Applications to different data will teach skills to use the appropriate model for a desired task and the ability to interpret an algorithm’s result as well as ways for further improvements. Furthermore, the students will learn interpretations of biological and artificial intelligence based on state-of-the-art Machine Learning models. Contents: This course builds up on the basic models and methods introduced in introductory Machine Learning lectures. Advanced Machine Learning models will be introduced alongside methods for efficient parameter optimization. Analytical approximations for computationally intractable models will be defined and discussed as well as stochastic (Monte Carlo) approximations. Advantages of different approximations will be contrasted with their potential disadvantages. Advanced models in the lecture will include models for clustering, classification, recognition, denoising, compression, dimensionality reduction, deep learning, tracking etc. Typical application domains will be general pattern recognition, computational neuroscience and sensory data models including computer hearing and computer vision.
